      @jian yang and, if UK manufacturing history has any bearing on the subject, far more unreliable.

      I would spend it on something that was nicer to be in. Speed is a nice extra but its one of the least usable attributes of a car these days. Jumping off the line is also one of the easiest things to engineer into an electric for headlines and I’m sure most of the people buying these will enjoy very much telling anyone who will listen how its faster than an Etron GT.
      You certainly won’t see many being hooned about and the choice to cut corners on brakes (sound familiar, Tesla?) shows they aren’t really serious about performance – they just went for headline figures to sell cars to simpletons.

      Yes more power than a RS3 Audi and much cheaper as Jeremy Clarkson says Power

    It’s crazy the augmentation of the car’s power these days.. 10 or 15 years ago 430Hp was super cars or big german sedan power, it was nearly inaccessible for the common people! Hot hatch were around 200hp now with the Inoniq 5 it’s 600hp !! What do you think about this all ?

      Its crazy isn’t. In fact even the basic MG4s have 170 and 200hp! Tbf these cars are heavier than the old hit hatches and such

      It’s mostly irrelevant. Interesting to know how maxing the start impacts the range. I vaguely recall someone testing a Taycan on track and after 20 odd laps the battery was out of charge.

      I think a lot of people with not a lot of car control are going to have very fast cars capable of 0-60 in sub 4 seconds. That worries me. A lot!

    I love what MG are doing. Making the rest of the manufacturers look very stupid.

    crazy performance. To be honest, a car with half the horsepower with two motors would be much more interesting…

    Well, I like their direction. Hopefully the next generation will have better handling and brakes as well, but hard to complain for the price.

    I imagine the new extended range one will perform well enough for most people though, and they’d rather have the bigger battery over the blinding acceleration.

    Would have been nice to see a run with “real world” acceleration. Both cars in non launch control. Foot on brake. Hit the gas on GO!

    When doing acceleration tests can you also try them without launch control to see the difference?

    MG have done an excellent job with the styling on this – looks really good. In the EV world this is great value for the performance on offer and should give some of the bigger brands a fright.

    Put some decent tyres on it with stiffer sidewalls and you might have a different experience in handling

    The MG4 is great to be honest, this one looks like exactly the kind of thing I would go for

    I was thinking the MG4 XPOWER wouldn’t stand a chance against an Audi e-tron GT in a drag race.
    That’s pretty crazy if you think about it!

    Quite a crazy performance for the price. Really need to see far more track videos of EVs just to see how they handle round a track.

    I know a lot are nerfed to 100 mph or so but it would still be nice to see. Even the “cheaper” EVs.

    They should have spent a bit more money on the brakes but overall it’s a great addition to the line up. It will certainly upset some drivers of sporty German cars that normally refuse to be overtaken, they will have to stop looking at there rear view mirror and watch this car overtake them. 😂
